Teletubbies

A week and a half ago I decided to conduct a little experiment. I wanted to see if Addy would be interested in a TV show geared toward her age group. I turned on Teletubbies and as the opening music began to play she stopped what she was doing, turned toward the TV, and did not budge for 30 minutes! She was fascinated, and still is, by these odd little creatures.

She claps with joy when the show comes on. She laughs and dances along with them. She puts her hands out and shrugs, as if to say "where did they go" when the Teletubbies disappear off the screen. At the end of the show a disembodied voice announces "it's time for tubby bye-bye" and they each take turns waving good-bye and Addy is sure to wave back to each one, but as they disappear into their home she knows it is the end of the show and she begins to cry (every time. I, on the other hand, am grinning and thinking "yeah, it's over!"). I hug her and tell her that they will be back again tomorrow and that seems to satisfy her...'till tomorrow.

P.S. Guess who is walking! More to follow...
